I had said this a million times...
It depends on the climate you are in... I live in FL... Its warm year round here... a 180F will work fine for me..
If you live in a climate that is frigid a chunk of the year you may want to use a 180F during the warm months and go back to a 195 for the cooler months... But that all depends on the person and what they want to do...
You should see how wimpy the radiator is on a 3800 powered car without HD cooling... Its a Joke...
I ran a deadset 180F all the way up here... And still knocked off 30Mpg with my foot bending the floor board
